Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-fluorothiophenol (8.36 g, 65.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (9.81 g, 71.0 mmol) in 115 mL of dry acetonitrile is added 2,5-difluoronitrobenzene (7.00 mL, 64.55 mmol). The mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Water and CH2Cl2 (120 mL each) are added and the layers separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 mL). The combined organics are dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give a bright yellow solid. The solid is triturated with hexane to give 17.1 g (99%) of the title compound as a bright yellow solid.
